    In answer sheet of example 2, a disposed car is not under WDA(main). So the allowance figure is 4,200(balancing allowance figure)* 70%(business purpose).
    However, a car Jane bought later is under WDA (special), so the allowance figure is asset (16,000) *8% (special)* 70% (business purpose).
    Because they both are non pool assets, I am confused of the way to treat assets which are disposed of. Why it is not under WDA? And the concept of balancing allowance/charge is clearly is the opposite of capital allowance but when can we apply this?

    @lila88 the first car there was a disposal which resulted in balancing allowance

    The second car was not disposed hence it still qualifies for writing down allowance

    Remember this formula

    Tax Adjusted trading profit = adjusted trading profit – Capital allowance

    When the resulted capital allowance results in a negative figure

    The tax adjusted trading profit = adjusted trading profit + Capital allowance
